Sordwin: The Evertree Saga

In stark contrast to its previous volume, this story was excellent. Atmospheric, compelling, engrossing - everything from the characterization to the length was just right. The mystery had plenty of twists and turns, red herrings and unique paths, and remained quality at every step of the way. Truly one of the best Choice Of stories that I have ever experienced.

说实话这个系列给了我太大惊喜。前作evertree inn其实只能算一般水平，而且也很短。但是这一部各方面都加强了，我基本全程都被吸引住了。剧情在我看来是数一数二的。关键是作者明显会写，而且把控力非常强，什么时候该让玩家爽给你把握的明明白白的。 必玩。在我玩过的HG里能排前三

"But I love you, Dandy." "I guess I'm a masochist." It sounds crazy, but part of me still wants Winter, maybe now more than ever! Well...I need some help for the rest achievements...

First, If you havnt read the first book, do yourself a favor, go get it, enjoy it and come back for this one! Not that you need to have a saved game from the first book to play this one, but I did find it alot more enjoyable to have my previous companion along with me, than going it alone with the new cast of chars introduced in this book. TBH relationship wise i really did not enjoy the new offerings. Dont get me wrong they are very interesting characters, and are fully fleshed out and important to the story... they just didnt appeal to me lol. I did play through with 2 different love interests from the first book, and they each reacted differently to the story in this game, and ultimately to my MC as well (one even left me awwwww!) So its not just that there are several different ways to get through this story that make it even more interesting than the first book, but also depending on who you chose to go through it with well things all turn out differently. No corners cut here, no Different Face (Weapon, Spell, etc) Same Results writing here. Do something differently or just with someone else along and things change! Other wana be CYA writers should read / study this work first before getting started on their own. Easy 10 / 10 for this type of game. Id wager even if your more used to RPGs with graphics and controllers, you'ld still enjoy the story =)

I wanted a more challenging / involved CYA story, so I have read through all the books of the Evertree Saga with a few blind playthroughs each (no guides, obviously I used my own memory on the latter ones). It's a contiguous story (think episodes of a mystery show), not as much a continuous one like Lord of the Rings, but the books do significantly influence one another and many characters, relationships, and some ongoing story points carry through, so I believe a joint review is more appropriate than reviewing each in tandem. Overall thoughts: These books, at their core, are mystery RPG books. There is an answer to who committed the main events, and from what I have found, that does not change during each playthrough. There are many clues to follow in the books, both real insights on characters and red herrings. However, from what I have found, you always find out in the end. (This may not be true in the second book; I guessed the person correctly the first time) I love this. There is an answer to the mystery, smaller mysteries along the way to be explored / solved, and you can be dead wrong in your estimations on who did the deeds. However, if you are wrong, there's no "Game over, moron" screen. The story adapts and allows you to continue. BUT! that doesn't mean getting the answer right has no meaning. You receive more skill points, to be invested in your character's skills, if you discover more clues, succeed at more things, and guess who perpetrated the main / side mysteries. Side and main characters can die, be seriously changed, and come to love/hate you based on your actions. Also, you can't just brute force the mysteries from a guide. If you know the answer, because you cheated, and pick it without having evidence gathered to support your theory, you won't get many skill points to work with. You are also usually put in better positions, story wise, if you successfully puzzle it out. Speaking of puzzles, there are genuine ciphers, memory tests, math puzzle (very easy if you get the right sub-clues). Most of these are either open text (you have to type the right answers in), or they have a large variety of options to pick from, most of which are wrong. Again, I love this because it rewards careful reading and memory. The author has also done an excellent job with MC character building. You can pick from many different races, which have different traits and some characters will react to them differently. The game allows you to solve events in many different ways, so there is no single way to build your character stat wise (though I think magic is incredibly strong in these games). The "companions", both ROs and people who help you solve the mysteries, are memorable and interesting, at least over the course of two games. Evertree Inn was quite short, and it didn't give enough screen time to fully flesh them out, especially since you can't spend significant time with all of them in one playthrough, but I didn't care that much about that because I liked the mystery and RPG elements so much that I was buying the second game anyway. The second game was significantly better than the first, with more options, characters, skills, and a more satisfying mystery. The third book was only half a book. It seemed like Act 1 of a 3 part story, so . It also wasn't as good. I only encountered one mystery which was completed, and it was just a deduction puzzle. It also has much harsher pathing. You can only see around 1/2, maybe even 1/3 of the paths on a given playthrough, which is fine but a bit frustrating since I wasn't even able to keep up on the stories of 2 main companions + the main quest, even while ignoring my career entirely. Final Score: Evertree Inn: 7/10 - good experience while it lasted, but a tad short for the price Sordwin: 9/10 - genuinely excellent game, only thing keeping it from 10/10 is that the world isn't as built out & interesting as a series like Infinity. Overall experience for the first two: 9/10. Very highly recommended Lux City of Secrets: incomplete / 10. I don't recommend it unless you want to support the author (which I do, personally)

5/5。这一部世界观变大了，人物也变多了，仍然是调查驱动，非常有互动性。引入了宗教体系和更多的超自然种族元素。前作没什么情节，但这部故事丰富且节奏把控很好，悬念也有意思一些，结局大战部分打得我很爽。L的线我真的觉得写得很不错，作为RO我其实没有说特别特别喜欢，但角色的成长与动机的转变都非常自然。 怎么说呢，继承存档的时候建议谨慎选择是否继续上一部的RO，因为买定离手（于是我又打了二周目）。我上一部选的L，在这一部剧情刚开始也没有拒绝继续这段关系，结果等到后面和winter调情的时候主角突然自动拒绝了winter而且说“i already have someone”，虽然L也很sweet但此时我真的要爱情不是罪.jpg了。 打算等第四部出来再一起打第三部，作者这期间几年已经又发了几本其他的if了希望作者还是尽快先给lux city of lies拉磨（泪）不过看论坛上似乎也快了。

为了存档我又打了一遍，眼睛都看花了，不过Danny是真的香

This was an awesome title! Man, I already can't wait for the next one. It was great getting back into things with a few of the old characters. And I still just can't get enough of Daisy. But again I felt that the majority of the decisions made a lot of difference with everything. Easily another 10/10.

I have played through once with an imported save and once through with a new character and I loved each playthrough! I think the story is interesting and there is a lot of choice involved. Scenes play-out differently depending on your skills and choices. I was invested very quickly. The stats are well explained and I'm intrigued to play again with other backgrounds to see what changes. I highly recommend this game, it was a lot of fun. Also, [spoiler]I love Orion!!! So much! I love the romance so freaking much and I can't wait to see where it goes in the next game![/spoiler]
